The New Orleans Saints officially released center Olin Kreutz on Saturday, replacing him on the roster with third-string quarterback Sean Canfield. That move is likely temporary. The Saints often add Canfield to their practice squad before games so he's available in case of emergency, then they release him on Mondays.

The Saints also waived veteran offensive tackle Alex Barron from their injured reserve list, apparently having agreed to an injury settlement with him. Barron suffered a knee injury early during training camp.
